The food here was so good! I got the cornbread to start and had the brick chicken with coleslaw and mashed potatoes on the side. I spoke to my server about my “allergy”/celiac disease and I think at first they did not understand the severity of the issue, so I asked about how the items would be prepped. Eventually the server made notes on the order communicating to the kitchen staff that my order needed to be made separately and with extra attention. I was a little nervous but I ended up being totally fine- I have celiac and I’m extremely sensitive to cross contamination but I didn’t have any issues here.

If you dine here, I would communicate clearly that you have a Gluten Allergy or celiac disease and ask how things will be prepared.

Overall, great experience and the food was really good! Definitely going back.

We had a fantastic time! The food was so good. The deviled eggs were super tasty. The ribs were great-as the sides. All the sauces are gluten free which was wonderful! We even tried the corn bread. Everything was great-including the server! Really appreciated their organization and how we saw all the staff working together. Can’t wait to go again! I didn’t get sick off of anything I ate!

My family went to Gus’s barbecue this weekend and I wanted to add a review. First, they were very clear that they could not guarantee cross contact would not happen in the kitchen so my eyes were open going in. Nima tested the coleslaw and garlic mashed potatoes, both were negative. Unfortunately, my brisket came up positive for gluten. It might be fine for people who are not Celiac or as sensitive, but I was not going to risk it even having seeing all of the positive reviews. Wanted to share for those concerned.

I felt comfortable here and didn’t get sick. I got the baby-back ribs, creamed corn, mashed potatoes, and the corn bread. All of them had a gf next to it. All of their sauces are gf. Heads up: The chips are in a shared fryer so even though it says gf, it’s not safe. Also the corn bread passed with a :) on a nima test.

They have a GF menu. Decent amount of options: a few appetizers, a few salads, a lot of BBQ options and sides for the main dish, and ice cream for dessert. I had the cobb salad with smoked turkey + bacon and it was really good! I wish they had more dessert options other than ice cream scoops and a sundae...but would still go back anytime.
